What Grinds My Gears: Cauliflower Ear Discrimination

I am sick and tired of the discrimination against those Americans who deal with the destruction of the underlying cartilage of the pinnae. That is right; I am speaking about “Cauliflower Ear”. It is bad enough that I have to read how it is a “deformity” in medical journals, watch people do double-takes at the state of fellow competitors’ ears, and listen to terrible jokes in even worse movies (looking at you Couture in The Expendables). I mean go to Google and start typing Randy Couture and the top search is “ear”!!!! Now it seems that even our glorious overlord of technology, Apple, has decided to shove us aside.
